25 May 2015, Shandong Province, China --- An assistant dumps bees on the bee-covered body of Chinese beekeeper Gao Bingguo as he challenges to set a new Guinness World Record in Liangzhuang town, Tai'an city, east China's Shandong province, 25 May 2015. A Chinese beekeeper set a new Guinness World Record after being covered in a massive 109.05kg of bees. Gao Bingguo, 55, is no stranger to bees having kept them for over 35 years, but having several hundred thousand of them piled on top of you is something that not even Bingguo could truly prepare for. Organizers began the record attempt on early Monday (25 May 2015) morning by placing a number of queen bees on to his body which would help to attract the worker bees. Boxes of bees were later dumped at his feet in increasingly large quantities, slowly crawling up and on to his body.

Beekeeper Gao Bingguo, 55, of east China’s Shandong province, succeeded on Monday, May 25, 2015 in his effort to set a world record for wearing the heaviest coat of bees. His accomplishment was confirmed by officials from Carrying The Flag World Records, according to The Associated Press.

Assistants placed several queen bees on Bingguo’s body in order to attract worker bees before starting to just dump boxes of bees at his feet. There are about 10,000 bees in a kilogram, meaning Bingguo had nearly 1.1 million bees on his body.

The beekeeper ended up covered in an estimated 1.1 million bees.

Bingguo wore only his underwear during the stunt and smoked a cigarette to keep the bees away from his lips.

He was stung more than 2,000 times and temperatures around his body reportedly reached 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

Judges announced that Bingguo set the record in less than an hour, Sky News reported. The previous record for bees on a person was about 184 pounds.

Guinness World Records, a more well-known record-keeping authority, told The Huffington Post that they had no record of Bingguo in their database. Guinness’ bee-wearing record-holder is Ruan Liangming of China, who wore 140 pounds of bees in May 2014.
